CHECKING TILLER TRANSMISSION OIL
IMPORTANT: Tiller transmission is shipped from factory with the proper amount of
oil. When replacing oil, the tiller transmission holds 27-30 ounces. Do not overfill.
Check the oil level annually. To check the oil level:
1. Move tiller to level ground.
2. Remove oil level dipstick located between the handlebar mounts on the engine
mount. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit, fill the oil to recommended
level with SAE 85W-140 / 90W-140.
3. Replace oil level dipstick in the filler hole.
4. Note that the drive wheel transmission and rear tine transmission are one
common reservoir. When you add to the front transmission, you must wait a
short period of time for the oil to flow rearward and equalize in both front and
rear. The dipstick will read correctly on level ground for both gear units.

CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE
Recommended tire pressure is 25-30 PSI. If tires do not have equal pressure, tiller
will pull to one side. Low tire pressure may result in damage to tire tube.
LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication of moving mechanical parts is critical for proper care and
maintenance. Oil the moving parts shown at 10 hour intervals using a 30 weight oil.
